FYI - I have been using bobber stops to peg my Texas rig sinker. The other day I ran out. I tried using a short length of used braid from a couple of years ago 50 lb I think. I just tied a uni knot in front of the weight. Once in position I snugged it up, cut off the ends and it worked fine.

I now have another use for old braided line.

Yes sir, I think those were the ones I was using. I had the yellow one and I'd color it Black with a Sharpie. By using a separate Uni knot, you do not need to tie the line around a little tube in advance. Just lay the braid on your main line and tie the knot.

I bet others are already doing this, I just haven't seen anything on it before. Besides, those little tubes are a PIA.

I do something like that when I'm using spinning gear.  Braided line, sliding sinker, rubber bobber stop, fluoro leader tied on with a uni-uni knot, hook and choice of bait, usually a 4 inch Robo curly tail worm. 

Finesse c-rig or sliding sort split shot rig.  Killer!!!
